Started by cherbert · 11 months ago

I went sailing today.

It was awful.

Ben and I got in the water at 10am, planning to sail across Squam Lake to our rented cottage, have lunch with our women-folk, and return in the early afternoon. Ha. It was 4:30 before I tasted anything but lakewater and humiliation.

    There was this guy I used to know who fearlessly, and with little second thought, paddled his kayak into the darkness of a lake much colder than Squam, during the middle of night, to heroically rescue several paddlers who had capsized their canoe. This guy I used to know didn't complain about "drenching, freezing rain" nor did his "teeth clack" together when he literally pulled three young men from the "actually" cold water, saving them from drowning. Seriously, there is no joke here. Chris Herbert saved these guys lives - they would dead without him. I was there to witness it. I guess that guy is gone. He crunches numbers now, is a dad, and sadly, a bitch. Too bad. You would have liked that guy. I did.

    Chris, I am putting you on the next car ride to Vermont. With luck, the terrible vag disease will clear up if we can catch it early. And, hopefully, I'll get to meet sailing Ben and his apron. He should come too. Something is terrible wrong. Please, fight the next man you see just to make sure you still are one.

    With love,

    Hootie Hoo.
